Scots tradition is that a kilt has three straps, (Although that has been slowly changing very recently).
It is very much like the Prince Charley vs the Brian Barou jackets. At first glance they appear the same, but on closer inspection there are subtle differences.
The Welsh and Irish tartans are a much more recent addition to our kilted brethren fashion palette and have little to no historic tradition. (The Welsh tartans first being registered in the year 2000).
I must report that I recently purchased a Holy Rood kilt and biased cut waistcoat. It did take longer than usual, I called and was informed that they were in the process of moving shop. I immediately put the arrival of the items out of my mind. I have been through that ordeal as a "Mom and Pop" business and would not wish it on anyone.
When I ordered my Welsh Phillips of Wales Cilt the ad stated three straps, when it arrived it came with two. After contacting them I had to send it back and they installed the 3rd strap, they didn't act to happy about this and after sending it in it was almost 3 weeks to get it back.
I will never order from them again
